Enrolment

Local enrolment area

Most schools have designated local enrolment areas. School Finder shows our local enrolment area. Note: local enrolment areas are subject to change.

How to enrol

When you’re ready to enrol your child in our school, you’ll attend an interview with the principal. There you can discuss any medical conditions or other special circumstances before your child starts school. We may also complete a risk assessment on the enrolment.

Temporary visas and international students

Non-local enrolments

As outlined in the department’s enrolment policy, our school may accept enrolments from outside our local enrolment area if places are available.

Starting school

Your child can start Kindergarten at the beginning of the school year if they turn five on or before 31 July in that year. By law, all children must be enrolled in school by their sixth birthday.

Because students start new work in their new class at the beginning of the school year, it would be an advantage for your child both socially and educationally, to start school as soon as possible in the new year.

Enrolment appointments

For your appointment, if your child has not been previously enrolled in a NSW public school, you will need to bring these documents with you:

your child’s birth certificate or identity documents

proof of student’s address – originals of different documents such as your council rates notice or residential lease and electricity bill

Immunisation history statement based on the Australian Childhood Immunisation Register (ACIR)

family law or other relevant court orders (if applicable).

If your child is not a permanent resident you will also need to provide:

passport or travel documents

current visa and previous visas (if applicable).

For children already enrolled in a NSW public school we only require:

proof of student’s address – originals of different documents such as your council rates notice or residential lease and electricity bill

family law or other relevant court orders (if applicable).

It’s important that you tell the principal if your child has any special circumstances, allergies, health or medical conditions, before your child starts school.
